Welcome to DVSwitch
DVSwitch is a set of tools and programs related to provisioning and operating Amateur Radio digital voice networks.
Purpose
The purpose of DVSwitch is as follows:
1) Allows “local” networking during an outage of the regional national/international network server.
2) Allows a local network operator to “blend” upstream feeds from different Networks (capital N on purpose). These Networks can’t get their act together and learn how to play nice with each other (everyone guilty as far as we are concerned). They may not like people doing this, but the solution is to grow up and work with each other, and not keep trying to force people to take sides.
3) Allows local segregation of localized traffic with more flexibility.
4) Allows experimentation with linking and how it’s done (part 97 specifies experimentation and advancement of the radio art are a core part of amateur radio).

Mission Statement/Position
Our stated position is:
WHEREAS the Networks continue to be largely islands and are not working together to create a unified network of Networks.
WHEREAS no firm reason has been given by any of the Networks why a *competent* local network operator cannot make this work effectively.
(US ONLY)
WHEREAS 47 CFR 97 (Amateur Radio Service) specifies that a core component of amateur radio is experimentation and advancement of the radio art [97.1(b)].
BE IT RESOLVED the core group of US amateur radio operators and experimenters organized around the DVSwitch project, and in the spirit of USA 47 CFR 97 and its intentions, support the *responsible* and *thoughtful* use of digital voice networking tools to create localized networks that will interconnect to the national/international Networks, and will support users of its tools in order to do this in the most effective and sustainable way possible.

Re: Newbie Problem
Sounds like your Audio is TOOOO HOT...
My settings are below and work great... ************************************** USRP] aslAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN agcGain = -5 dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN dmrGain = 0.2 ************************************* agcGain is MINUS five dmrGain is zero point two

That is a valid point. I should have provided more information. I have ALS running on a PC along with DMR_ Bridge, MMDVM_Bridge, and MD380emu. My settings are USRP] aslAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN agcGain = 5 dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN dmrGain = .3 I tried changing to AUDIO_UNITY and that made no difference. Thanks AA4II

Re: Newbie Problem
It would be nice to know what hardware / software you are running.
RPi? VM? Emulator? DV3000?

Check this in Analog_Bridge.ini USRP] aslAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN agcGain = 1.0 dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN dmrGain = 1.0 If you need to adjust the DMR -> ASL audio, change: aslAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN agcGain = 1.0 This should be the same level as unity agcGain = 2.0 This should be twice as loud as unity agcGain = 0.5 This should be half as loud as unity ========================================= If you need to adjust the ASL -> DMR audio, change: dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN dmrGain = 1.0 This should be the same level as unity dmrGain = 2.0 This should be twice as loud as unity dmrGain = 0.5 This should be half as loud as unity Steve N4IRS

Oddly enough we (K0JSC & K1DDN) just worked you on 40 meters! Not that it's related to the issue at hand. When you listen to hoseline which audio is garbled? Audio incoming or outgoing audio? de K0JSC

Check / follow your port numbers for error.

Most likely the issue. A mismatch somewhere. Take your time and think it through. stage by stage. ...mike/kb8jnm

Help for HBmonitor add functions Real Time.
EA5GVK Joaquin
It would be nice, that some colleague of the group that manages the Dashboard well.
Add functions such as: - Call in real time. - Dynamic activated or deactivated Tgs. - Show the TGs Bridgeados in real time. It would be appreciated and would be a very complete project if someone could help to do it. I do not know the programming of Dashboard well. Thank you.

Re: Is K6SS DMR wget Install Package performing a working install?
C Davis
Thank you to Vance, K6SS for finding a problem with the HB_Bridge.cfg file and providing the correct configuration information. The K6SS wget install file is working just fine now. Normally don't touch this file so it was a tough one for us users to find. If anyone else is having the problem here is what needs to be corrected.
Mahalo again Vance! Carter, KH6FV The HB_Bridge-Sample.cfg files has these ports which appear to be a typo.
fromGatewayPort = 31103
toGatewayPort = 31100
Bottom line change the ports in HB_Bridge.cfg to the following and it should work.
fromGatewayPort = 31003
toGatewayPort = 31000

Re: Is K6SS DMR wget Install Package performing a working install?
C Davis
Some troubleshooting update to this problem. All attempts to get a K6SS wget new installation going has been with new version Digital Ocean 9.5 x 64 1GB droplets. We wiped a older 9.3 X 64 and did the wget install and it worked fine. So, I surmise the K6SS wget installation package is not compatible with the 9.5 Debian droplets. Hopefully someone can investigate this issue further.
Carter, KH6FV

Is K6SS DMR wget Install Package performing a working install?
C Davis
I have two Digital Ocean droplets currently running the K6SS wget install package for DMR HotSpots to connect to our cBridge. I created these earlier this year and they are running well. This past month I have tried numerous times of creating a third droplet and running the K6SS wget install package:
wget http://ip1.dx40.com/dmrlink/ipscbuil After configuring similar to my previous installations with that new specific configuration information, cBridge shows droplet server connects to our cBridge manager. Hotspots connect, but no keyup and audio passes. Transmissions originating from the cBridge repeaters light up the manager, but no key up or audio passes from the MMDVM Server. Keups from HotSpots don't show up on the cBridge manager, no audio or key up from hotspots. Nothing works even after reboots & dmr start commands. Has some files been changed to no longer allow this install package to work? Can someone check that this K6SS installation package is still a working install package? The two previous installs worked flawlessly, now it doesn't. Thank you Carter, KH6FV HI-TRBO cBridge Administrator

Would a VPN to the repeater work ?

Excellent. I have the Hytera CPS, but not a repeater. I have been considering buying one to research, but I am not really a programmer, so I am interested in helping out someone smarter than myself. Add this one to the list also:

Time for the start of a FAQ:

1: When will the software be finished? Software means never having to say you're finished. (apologies to Erich Segal) 2: Will you support connecting a Hytera repeater? Yes, when we have a Hytera repeater(s) to reverse the protocol and time to work on it. 3: ...

Yeah, I love that – it’s never finished :) But it will be good enough to merge in at some point.
